An Indiana woman claimed that she was molested as a teenager nearly 20 years ago by a former Boston priest who told her he was performing an exorcism to try to rid her of the devil.
An Indiana woman claimed Tuesday that she was molested as a teenager nearly 20 years ago by a former Boston priest who told her he was performing an exorcism to try to rid her of the devil.
She came forward to tell her story in hopes that Sweeney’s name would be included, along with seven others Garabedian named in the press conference, on a list of priests accused of abuse on the archdiocese’s website. Tifft, 37, said the assault happened in 2000 on her family’s Vermont property where Sweeney and other members of the community were holding a weekend religious retreat.
“[The superior] did nothing,” said Tifft. “Later our friend brought our complaints to the Archdiocese of Boston…Nothing was done and Fr. John Sweeney was protected by the archdiocese.”
